Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread
Description
This zucchini bread starts by mixing peanut butter, canola oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, grated zucchini, and peanut butter chips into a wet batter. The dry ingredients include flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, which are combined with the wet mixture just until incorporated to maintain a soft texture. A crumbly streusel topping made from brown sugar, flour, and softened butter is spread over the top before baking.
Baked in greased and floured loaf pans at 325°F for just over an hour, the bread emerges with a golden crust and moist interior. The shredded zucchini adds moisture and subtle vegetable flavor that balances the sweetness and nuttiness, while the streusel provides a contrasting crunch.
The bread slices well and can be served as a snack, breakfast, or dessert. It's a good way to use seasonal zucchini and enjoy peanut butter in a new form.
